A topped golf shot is caused by a player hitting the ball above its equator. Compare this to a thinned shot where the leading edge of the club face catches the ball below the equator but not low enough to make full contact.
Shot peening induces a compressional load in the suface of the material which will help to resist the formation of surface cracks. The stress that is imposed on the lugs is only slightly reduced at the material surface by the action of this compressional stress.
